Materials
Polartec ® Power Stretch
Highly elastic material that stretches in four directions from a blend of Polyester + Spandex + Nylon. It has increased resistance to stretching and does not deform.
The unique design of the biocomposite fabric consists of two layers: a stable outer surface made of nylon, which reduces friction with other layers of clothing and increases its resistance to abrasion, is combined with a soft inner moisture-wicking layer with thermal insulation pile.
Polartec® Power Stretch® features Odor Resistant® technology, which provides antibacterial protection and prevents the formation of unpleasant odours.
The material is completely hypoallergenic.
Polartec ® Power Dry ®
A two-component 100% Polyester material with very high air permeability, it dries 2 times faster than natural cotton and keeps your skin dry when you sweat.
Polartec® Power Dry® features a patented bi-component knit technology, which uses different yarns on both sides of the fabric. This creates two distinct surfaces: the inner surface draws moisture away from the skin through the capillary effect, while the outer layer distributes it across the surface for faster evaporation, providing cooling in warm weather and insulation in cooler weather.
Polartec® Power Dry® has a maximum Ultraviolet Protection Factor of UPF50+.
The fabric also features Odor Resistant ® technology, which provides antibacterial protection and prevents the formation of unpleasant odours.
The material is completely hypoallergenic.
Thermolite ®
A very lightweight fibre, hollow in the centre, developed by Invista Advansa, whose main property is to retain body heat like a thermos and wick moisture away from the skin surface to the outside thanks to its water-repellent properties.
In the event of overheating during strenuous physical activity (with active sweating), Thermolite®, due to its structure, helps moisture to leave the skin surface instantly and evaporate from the surface. In this way, Thermolite® reacts quickly to overheating or hypothermia. In other words, it is a kind of "temperature controller".
Nylon
Nylon, or polyamide, is the world's first synthetic fibre.
Its most prominent feature is its exceptional strength, abrasion and water resistance and, as a result, high durability, 10 times that of cotton and 20 times that of wool, and it is also stronger than polyester.
In the production of socks, nylon is usually blended with other materials to give strength and elasticity.
In Lorpen socks, a nylon layer is used for extreme loads, located over the entire area, and for moderate loads - in friction zones.
The strategic placement of nylon in the outer layer of the socks guarantees a long service life.
Lycra ®
It is very important for socks to be able to take the anatomical shape of the foot of any size, without the formation of folds that lead to chafing on the feet.
Lycra is the best elastane yarn on the market, the material of Lorpen socks contains up to 10% stretch nylon with lycra.
The elasticity of Lorpen socks is provided by stretch nylon, with an inner elastane layer and a nylon coating.
The percentage and quality of stretch nylon determines the high elasticity and durability of the new sock.
That is why Lorpen socks retain their fit even after prolonged use and numerous washes.
